Keep meaning to get my carc*** to Willow Springs, done ****onwillow, Sears Point, and Laguna Seca. Open track events are stupid fun, but can be dangerou$ Dreams of grandeur to track the 210 at least once, might just be a rolling road block but it would be a blast.
The man had som faith in the small block Ford that’s for sure, the 427 Cobra’s didn’t have the same success as the 289s did. I can’t help but wonder how much horsepower they had at the track 350, 400? Nowadays it’s easy to build over 500 from the little Ford but not with stock heads.
If you ever get to Las Vegas, you can see several real cobra's https://www.shelby.com/en-us/Shelby-Las-Vegas/Shelby-Heritage-Center-Home
The Shelby American Museum in Boulder, Co. has several real ones and a coupe. I've been there a few times. At the end of the day they start the coupe with open exhaust to chase the visitors out.
